50% of voters are below average in intelligence?
I refuse to believe that.

"Just because I talk slow doesn't mean I'm stoop'd" - Jake 'Sweet Home Alabama'.

It's not the speed of speech, but the content you utter and the surety with which you utter it.

You are so ignorant that you are certain that you are right.

A quick example of that deadly combination is your refusal to believe what I said. No comprehension of what it means, but certainty that you are right.

REDSTATEWARD still arguing for the disproven electoral effect the “deplorables” statement had on the election, never facing the obvious lesson here; that the last two years have proven that statement to be absolutely 100% correct.

Pretty sad comment from you.

A sad comment from anybody, Redd.

Sadder because it is true.

Illustrated by you.

I’m pretty sure Flynn was helpful in piecing together how Russia got it’s hooks and it’s rubles into Focus on the Family and the NRA. Flynn might know what’s really going on between Pence and “Mother”.

Abundantly clear facts cause Red to tantrum. It’s a sure sign you’ve made a great point.

We can add math and the definition of average to the very very very long list of things you are ignorant of.

Redd still isn't discussing the voter fraud in NC 9.

The corruption and the efforts to insist that just because he paid people to lie to voters is no reason to exclude him, but let's just call him the winner already are... almost too much for even the GOP!

I find it highly amusing that the leading state for suppressing votes under the guise of "preventing fraud" without any evidence of fraud js experiencing:

A. Actual evidence of voter fraud,
B. Committed by a Republican,
C. Of the sort voter id laws cannot prevent, that
D. It will not legislate additional barriers to voting to stop in the future.

And after crying "Voter Fraud!" when states continued to count lawfully cast ballots (when it meant a Republican lost his/her lead) the GOP may sue to seat the Congressman who very likely won via voter fraud involving unlawfully cast ballots.

Can't make this shit up.

Let’s be clear this is not a matter of “voter fraud” this is a matter of electoral fraud...

[LarryBnDC]

Oh? Seems the voters took ObamaCare to task for its failures.

Yeah, Red. The voters supported Obamacare overwhelmingly and tossed out many of those trying block or break it.

[NeedsAdjustments]

I confess to being deplorable toHillary’s standards and damn proud of it.

That has always been crystal clear.

[NeedsAdjustments]

Let’s be clear this is not a matter of “voter fraud” this is a matter of electoral fraud...

True enough, but the point is still valid; the GOP has raised no objections to a substantiated effort to steal an election because they benefited from it electorally.  And they raise bad faith objections to made-up efforts to steal elections because they think they benefit from it electorally.  Both cases prove that their intent was never to safeguard our Democracy, but to get elected, no matter the damage to said Democracy.

And now see Wisconsin and Michigan...the GOP so fond of saying "Elections have consequences."  What they really mean is "Elections have consequences, unless we lose."

Look both ways before crossing,  Boz....

Yeah? So Red, are you a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, or an Islamaphobe? Or a combination thereof? Because those were the people who were "deplorable toHillary's standards".

As I’ve often said, when a party’s electoral strategy depends on fewer people voting it means they know their policies suck for most people.

Getting the vote OUT will be a key for RNC in 2020.  As it was in 2016.

[NeedsAdjustments]

Getting the vote OUT will be a key for RNC in 2020.  As it was in 2016.

Getting the vote out in places that vote for the GOP, and suppressing it in places that don't will be a key for RNC in 2020.  As it was in 2016.

Democrats do better in high turnout elections, generally.  Hence the Republican efforts to limit early voting, closing voting sites, voter ID, etc.  You know this, if you have been paying any attention to the discussions here.

[barton]

Yep.  Wisconsin snuck a restricted early voting law into its Hogtie the Governor/AG package.  Gerrymandering the state wasn't enough, because it doesn't prevent a Democrat governor being elected and the grave threat of democracy breaking out.

The boomerang effect seems pretty clear:  when gridlock happens in the next four years, the voters of Wisconsin will recall why, and who is responsible.
